    April 2 marks the birth anniversary of Soghomon Tehlirian, a member of
    the Nemesis covert operation in 1920s to assassinate the Turkish
    masterminds of the Armenian Genocide.

    Avenger Tehlirian assassinated Talat Pasha on March 15, 1921 in
    Berlin. Two of his accomplices in that operation were Hagop Zorian
    (Hazor) and Hratch Papazian. He was captured, tried and found not
    guilty. After the trial, he moved to the former Yugoslavia where he
    lived for nearly thirty years. After the end of World War Two he and
    his family fled to Casablanca. Having been told by the ARF that
    Turkish agents were closing on him in 1956 he moved to the United
    States. He died in 1960 in San Francisco. He is buried in Fresno, Ca.
    at the Ararat Cemetery.
